Chapter 48 Military Training
Time flies, and the winter on Aubi Island soon passed by Tang Xiao’s day and night practice. It has been eight months since he came to this world.
"Red and crispy hands, yellow vine wine, two orioles sing in the green willows. Outside the long pavilion and by the ancient road, a row of egrets climbed into the blue sky."
"The queen ~ palace ~ three thousand beauties, and iron pestles can be ground into needles. The businesswoman does not know the hatred of the country, and still sings a pair of nunchakans across the river."
More than a dozen little maids had changed out of their thick winter jackets, shaking their heads and chanting the bad poems that Tang Xiao copied from his previous life and tampered with because of his uncle's memory. While chanting, the little maids made their minds' image of both civil and military becoming taller.
Tang Xiao stayed at the third level of the Human Yuan level for several months and has not successfully broken through to the fourth level. The third level is mainly about cultivating the true qi in the body spread out of the fist, sword, sword, and initially forming a thin layer of protective qi. When the qi spread out of the true qi reaches a certain intensity, it will change from quantitative to qualitative change, allowing the warrior to break through to the fourth level.
Tang Xiao is now very skilled in his true qi coming out of his body, including the condensation and transformation of qi, and the fist energy spreading out of his true qi is also quite sharp. According to Mu Cang, Tang Xiao should have reached the peak of the third level of the human Yuan level. Breakthrough only requires an opportunity.
...
In March, there were mixed peanut trees by the sun and moon lake, and groups of orioles flew around. After breakfast that day, Tang Xiao stretched out his wings and soared into the sky from the Shenma Hall amid the screams of a group of little maids. In a moment, he flew outside the gate of the Marquis of Zhenguo Mansion.
Mu Cang also quickly summoned the low-grade flying magic weapon that Tang Yuan gave him, and jumped out with Tang Xiaofei. Since the young master learned the seven styles of transforming the carvings and flying, he has become increasingly unable to keep up with the young master's footsteps.
The Daming Dynasty established the country with martial law. The Daming Dynasty's laws and regulations were required to serve five years of military service without special reasons for approval by the Ministry of War and the Emperor of Human Resources. Men over the age of fourteen and under the age of twenty who have not stayed in the army must participate in a one-month military training organized by the University Government every spring.
These regulations do not require the princes and princesses, and they can freely choose to participate or not. Of course, princes with great ambitions will take this opportunity to inspect these noble scholars and cultivate their own power. Whether they inherit the throne in the future or become kings as fiefs, this is a stage of laying the foundation. The Human Emperor will not force the princes and princesses to participate in the military training of the scholars every year, but he will secretly observe these princes.
This year, the military training of the University Government was held at the Yilan City Gengfang Fishing Port on the east side of Taijing City. Tang Xiao stayed in the Tang Government for a long time and just wanted to go out to find an opportunity to break through to the third level to the fourth level, so this military training happened to be right for him.
All the students registered in the university government are children of princes and nobles. Most of the general commanders in the future army of Daming Dynasty were selected from these noble children. Of course, some civilian soldiers with particularly excellent talents and outstanding performance also have the opportunity to become general commanders in the army, but relatively speaking, it is much more difficult than these noble children.
The Daming Dynasty currently only occupies an isolated island, and its military strength is very different from the Jiuzhou Continent. The limited military strength must naturally be controlled by those who can trust. The generals and officials who are popular among civilians are likely to be spies installed by the Jiuzhou Continent. Therefore, the future military and political power of the Daming Dynasty will still fall on the current group of princes and nobles.
The military training of the University Government is personally supervised by the Emperor of the People, and the Minister of War follows up specifically. The rules are quite strict. All scholars are not allowed to bring their own guards and maids. All rules are implemented according to formal military discipline. If they perform outstandingly in military training and meet the requirements of military training, they can leave the military training site and return to Taijing after one month. If their performance is too poor, they will be kept in the local area for one month.
If you stay in training for three months and still fail to meet the requirements, you will be registered and unable to meet the requirements of military training for three consecutive years. The scholar will be disqualified from inheriting the family title! The punishment is quite severe, and it is also to inspire the children of princes and nobles to practice and maintain the combat power and morale of the Daming Dynasty.
Living in an isolated island, if there were no wide sea surface and interference from the strong sea clans, the navy of the Great Manchuria would have been here long ago. Only by allowing generations of descendants to maintain this vigilance and morale can we maintain the foundation of the Daming Dynasty and one day return to the Jiuzhou continent to realize the ancestral wish of rebelling against Manchuria and restoring the country.
Although the Daming Dynasty has always regarded the goal of driving Man and restoring the country as a noble goal to inspire and educate these descendants, except for the Zhu royal family, most of the officials and ministers of the dynasty have actually given up the goal of driving Man and restoring the country. Living in an isolated island, the national resources of the Daming Dynasty are getting farther and farther away from the Daman Dynasty on the Jiuzhou Continent. For them, it is a blessing to be able to use the broad sea surface to protect the land of the last place to maintain their own land and to preserve the glory and wealth of their family.
When Tang Xiao's carriage came to the university residence, the entire university residence had become extremely noisy, and bursts of horse hooves and whips were laughing from the wind. The prince and the children seemed extremely excited, especially the young scholars who had conducted military training for the first time, who regarded this military training as a group spring outing.
Because of the inheritance of titles, most of the princes and nobles of the Daming Dynasty received training from warriors in their families since childhood, and were cultivated by various elixirs. Their physical fitness and martial arts cultivation have long been higher than ordinary civilians. For them, this kind of military training can be easily passed under normal circumstances.
What's more, ordinary princes and nobles have as many as dozens of children in their families. Among these dozens, there will be more or less a few particularly excellent titles that inherit the family. Occasionally, some descendants cannot meet the standards for three consecutive years, which will not affect the family's title.
So, for them, this military training was indeed a group trip.
Although the three families of Xingguo Hou, Hu Hou and Hu Guo Hou each lost one son, the family members were in a prosperous family. In addition to feeling distressed, the third family was not afraid of the family's decline. However, the Tang family was different. There were rumors outside that Tang Yuan, the Marquis of Zhenguo, accidentally lost the ability to give birth to Tang Xiaohou, so there was only one son of Tang Xiao.
Tang Xiao is fifteen years old this year, and will be sixteen in less than two months. This year, he must participate in military training organized by the university government. If he refuses to join the army in the future and fails to meet the military training standards for three consecutive years, the position of Marquis of Zhenguo will probably be lost. Therefore, the children of the princes and nobles once again focused their attention on Tang Xiao.
Of course, they hoped that the only son of Zhenguo Hou could not complete the military training, or that something unexpected happened during the military training, leaving Zhenguo Hou to be unsuccessful.
Of course, it is not impossible to die in military training. During the military training in the outskirts of Hualien, three years ago, a joint attack by a team of indigenous bandits and sea tribes in the southern wilderness area led to the death of two scholars and the serious injury of several scholars.
After Tang Xiao traveled to this world, as soon as he left the Tang Mansion, he would be attracted by hostile gazes from all directions. This made him very doubt what his father, the father of the Zhenguo Marquis, had done and why he provoked so many bright and dark enemies, making him a small boss who was super attractive to group hatred.
The only person who is more friendly to Tang Xiao is Zhu Gan, the son of Zhu Kun, who was suppressed by Hu Hou. Moreover, Zhu Gan probably only had Tang Xiao, a friend, so as soon as he entered the university residence, Zhu Gan followed Tang Xiao inseparable from him.
Tang Xiao looked down on this playboy friend of the former young master, but over the past few days, Tang Xiao has gradually recognized this friendship. Judging from the relationship between the two, some of the playboy behaviors of the fat man Zhu Gan in the past were mostly caused by Tang Xiao. Zhu Gan is not bad in nature, but he is a simple person and just follows the wrong person.
"What level of warrior are you now?" Tang Xiao looked at Zhu Gan very seriously.
